400 year ID
Guys,
Searched the forums but no dice.
I have a 80 1 ton that had a 351m in it originally. Somewhere down the road a 400 was swapped. Who knows the years by the casting #'s?
Thanks man
Matt

save yourself a post, and put the casting numbers up now...might get you an answer quicker....The way i know of is as follows:
1st= Decade
2nd= Year of the decade
3rd= Car line / Manufacture code
4th= engineering department
5-8 =part number
1st: Decade of Manufacture:
A = 1940
B = 1950
C = 1960
D = 1970
E = 1980
2nd: Year of decade
3rd: Car Line/ Manufacture Codes
A = Galaxie
D = Falcon (60-69)
F = Outside USA, Trans Am racing
G = Comet / Montego
J = Industrial
M = Mercury
O = Fairlane / Torino
P = Autolite / Motorcraft
R = Rotunda
S = Thunderbird
T = Truck
V = Lincoln (61 - current)
Z = Mustang
4th Engineering Departments
A = Chassis
B = Body
E = Engine
F = Engine accessories
J = Autolite (67-72)
P = Automatic transmission
R = Manual transmission
W = Axle
X = Muscle parts program
Y = Lincoln / Mercury service parts
Z = Ford service parts
Think this is accurate, it is what i use....
